 To Terrence Kor Kor, who is returning tomorrow to the place I call my 2nd home:All the best kor!!! Enjoy your final year there and live life to the fullest. Go to Alton Towers, Scotland, Stonehenge (which you always wanted to go), and whatnots. Go to the continent and enjoy the cultures and cuisines. Remember to work hard and aim for the peak, the zenith. Give in your all, be it for work, squash or play. Take Care! And say hi to lovely Guildford for me! An Impression Was Left @ 12:19 pm
Let It Go. If letting go is the only way I can move on, I don't really have any other choice, do I? "Memory is just memories. Memory has no power" (Quoted from My Lovely Sam-Soon) An Impression Was Left @ 12:56 am
Random Thoughts of this morning/afternoon: (1) Damn it. I got the ice man again. Why? Why? Why? Why is it not B? Why must it be A? Grrrr.... (2) These instructors all look so young. Some of them can even pass off as my classmate at uni or something. How old are they?? (3) Good looking male instructors should be banned from teaching. They distract the female (and probably some male) drivers! (4) In the name of equality of the sexes, gorgeous female instructors should also be banned from teaching driving. They are a terrible distraction too to male drivers and female drivers will prob admire them too! (I had this thought because there was a female instructor on a bike, teaching Class 2 no less. She looks so damn cool, damn saye. I have to say her long flowing hair which was left loose under her helmet is really eye catching.) (5) Kerb count today: Strike - 2!!! Big improvement from yesterday, though disappointed that the 2 strike kerbs came from normal turnings. Stupid. An Impression Was Left @ 4:49 pm
Kerb Count today: Strike - 7 to 8, Mount - 4 Yay for someone who have done neither before today. For some really strange reason, I can't seem to be able to drive properly today. Probably because I got too used to the roads, that coming back into the circuit seems so much more difficult. Only 1st or 2nd gear allowed, half-clutch control etc etc. All the clutch control resulted in a cramp which started from the toes and spread to the calf and then a sore left leg for the 2nd lesson. Think I totally pissed off my two instructors today. One, let's call him A, was an ice man (Images of Jay Chou in Initial D keep appearing in my mind). No emotions whatsoever, no matter what I have done (and I have done a lot of silly mistakes, a lot of can't-believe-I-just-did-that things). The other, B, was more vocal, and was basically scolding me left, right and centre. He was so pissed off that I could hear him breathing so hard that I was so scared that he will have a heart attack or sth. Frankly speaking A scares me. I mean, I think someone who is emotionless is scarier because you can't really know what he was thinking. I can only guess. Guessing will never give you the answer unless u ask, which I don't think is appropriate. For all I know, he could be plotting my death or sth. B was vocal, so at least I know, and the fact that I know would indirectly mean that I would try not to make the same silly mistake earlier that made him angry. Comment of the day from B when I told him about A being emotionless, " Woah really ah. I am human wat, so I show my emotions lor." To which I replied, "So you saying that A is inhuman lah!" (Sometimes I am inclined to think that cuz I am really a lil scared of him). And then he replied, "No lah not inhuman lah, he has reached the xian1 (God) level already. That's why nothing affects him anymore." Made me laugh out loud. :) Nothing beats a laugh. It's good therapy. :) An Impression Was Left @ 7:19 pm
I have been captivated. Captivated completely. By what, you may ask? Well, by this: I know I know. I am like the last person to be held hostage by a drama serial. Even my mum commented that I have been watching less TV after i went to UK (4 years without a TV does this to you). But this is the timeline of my obsession with this show: Thursday 17/8 - First Ep. Laugh like mad. Friday 18/8 - 2nd Ep. Continue laughing like mad. Actually was disappointed when the ep ended. Monday 21/8 - 3rd Ep. Started looking online for information about this show. Ended up reading spoilers and decided that I should consider buying to accelerate the "screening". Started discussing with Shan whether to buy it or not. Conclusion was yes, and next discussion was where to buy it. Decision was made. Tuesday 22/8 - Went to IMM. Bought said series at Laserflair and went home. Plonked in front of the TV at 4pm, and started to watch from where I stopped (ep. 3). Dinner was in front of the TV too. Went on like this till 5am in the morning. Managed ep. 3 to 14. Wednesday 23/8 - Woke up at 1ish. Had breakfast, and then started my final two episodes. 2 solid hours in front of the TV. Wanted to savour the last 2 hours of the show. Completely. After that went online and then DL-ed the songs related to the drama. Put them on repeat. Watched ep 4 again at 10pm on TV with Dad. Scary yeah? I thought so too. But why do I love it so? (1) This is a bloody hilarious show, considering that it has been listed under the genre of "soap opera". (2) Our heroine in this show, Sam-soon is v v v straight forward, very direct. And well, I think I respect her for some of the things that she is willing to do. Maybe secretly in me, there may be a tiny bit of wanting to have some aspects of her character. (3) The ending is realistic. It is not a typical fairy tale ending, that's what makes it realistic. It's like Overtime, my other all fav Jap show. The ending is sad, which is why it is realistic. This is what life is about right? You don't always get what you want in life. (4) Even if u don't like the show/storyline. Watch it for the guys. The three men in the show are gorgeous (esp Hyeon Bin!) (though I can't help wondering how much plastic surgery they had done to their faces). Now here comes the plug: It's on Channel U every weeknight at 10pm! GO watch it. An Impression Was Left @ 1:00 am
write down the names of the first 10 ppl you can think of. 1. Hwei Shan 2. Mars 3. Terrence 4. Becki 5. Corinne 6. Rena 7. Su Phine 8. Matthew 9. Cheryl (Cheng) 10. Rebecca (Chang) DONT LOOK AHEAD UNLESS YOU FILLED OUT THE TOP! How did you meet 10? In Primary 3. We were both class librarians, appointed by Mr Yee. What would you do if you had never met 1? Die. (I always tell her, what would I do without you?). She corrects my English, she's my shopping buddy, my prove reader What would you do if 6 and 2 were going out? I dunno. Cuz it will never never never never ever happen. Have you ever seen 4 cry? No. She's the last person I expect to cry. How do you know 8? I was introduced to him via email, as my 1st nephew :) Met him formally on 30th May 2005. Would you ever date 6? Er, no. Because both of us are straight. What do you think about 7? She comes along with no. 4. I still remember their bickering emails from sec 3! She probably doesn't like me much when I first met her. What would you do if 5 confessed they loved you? Thanks! I already know that. I love her too! :) A fact about 9? She is crazy about all things Japanese!! :) Who is 4 going out with? No one (that I know of). Unless she is not telling. What's 2 do for a living? She's multitasking. She is studying liturgy at the Bible College, she works for the archdiocese. She helps out at home by taking care of her nephew, Willem (or Sausage). Would you ever live with 8? I currently "live" with him in the day since he comes over everyday. :) Given the choice though, the answer is yes. I love him to bits! So cute! Where does 7 live? Currently? I think she is in KL, but she lives in Potian in Johor. What do you think about 3? The more corny most crappy most bo liao. But the nicest kor I know (the only one too). What's best about 6? She's comical. Not in a bad way. :) She makes me laugh! An Impression Was Left @ 11:18 pm

I had a dream this morning. I dreamt that we were set homework by our teachers. Mrs Gan (Sec 4 Math and form teacher) told us to complete question 2 in class. I was damn blur and ended up doing qn 1(b) instead of qn 2. And then when I realised my mistake, I tore off the foolscap (isn't weird that in MGS, the foolscap pad is called science pad? I still don't get it) and then started qn 2 on a brand new piece of paper. And then I remembered that there was another piece of homework to complete and I mentally reminded myself that I must do that homework. And then I fell asleep without completing my qn 2 and then I remembered that I have a test coming up. The test was on "Mixtures", whatever that may mean. I was thinking to myself, what is a test on mixtures about? And then I thought maybe the teacher meant compounds. Then i thought, but it was Mrs Tong (Physics teacher) who reminded us that we have this test, so it cannot be compounds right? So it has to be a Physics test. And here's the bizarre part. I woke up (in real life), and on my way to the washroom I met my mum. She asked me why the hell I was up so early (not in that language, of course). I told her I woke up to finish my homework.

Realisation I realised that I would be spending September (and the nine months thereafter) in Singapore rather than in UK. I realised that since I came back, I have been treating my return as my usual summer break, rather than being back for good. I realised that somehow deep inside me, I am still under the illusion that I would be going back. I realised that come September, or at least the beginning, I would finally realise the reality, reality that I am done with Surrey. I realised that reality will hit me, and it will hit me hard. I realised also that I must accept reality. Most importantly of all, I realised that I am grateful for the wonderful experience that I had.  Missing you guys.An Impression Was Left @ 1:45 am
Someone third-fingered me on the road this morning. Sure, it might be my fault, but you needn't be this rude right? I had an L-plate at the front and back the car, and surely you have been one of those with a L-plate at the back of the car previously right? How crass and crude can you be? An instructor told me this once: there are those qualified drivers who are v v nice, who will let u go first, and then there are those nasty ones who probably had a hard time learning driving and want to make life as hard as possible for everyone else. I obviously met the latter today. An Impression Was Left @ 3:48 pm
Had a total BLAST of a birthday!!! :) Been receiving birthday messages from 12 midnight all the way till 2355h!!! Some of which were unexpected and I was kind of touched that ppl actually remembered and sent a msg to me! :) Thanks to everyone for their birthday greetings! I was a very happy birthday girl (though my moods changed quite a bit throughout the day, which is rather typical of me on my birthday - I even expected it for some reason!). Anyway, the birthday itself was normally a quiet affair for me. No gatherings, no parties, just a good dinner and cake with the family. This is a tradition and the tradition held, so we had a good dinner and a wonderful cake...  Green Tea Bavarian from The Patissier at Mohd SultanA layer of flavoured chocolate sandwiched between Green Tea mousse and rum soaked raisins  Me and my big mouth attempting to swallow the cake! It's an ugly picture! Haha, but for some reason I like it, maybe it's the big mouth But the night is still young. Got dressed up and went to meet the girls. Was actually thinking of going for drinks somewhere, but somehow, on reaching Raffles Place, we decided to go for a river tour, a very spontaneous idea from the usually sensible Becki. But nonetheless, we went. (Pictures didn't turn out, as I actually have not read the menu for my digicam, as to how to adjust aperture etc etc)   Boat Quay and The Fullerton. I have to say, the night view is really really nice. It's just me. Have not figured out my digicam yet.  Another spontaneous photo!!!! After we returned to "shore" at Raffles Place, we met up with Corinne who was all dressed up to the nines for a dinner earlier, and went to where we planned to go - Pitstop Cafe! It's actually a board games cafe, and loads and loads of FUN!! Going with a different bunch of people than the gang I normally go with brings a different experience, but a fun one nonetheless with loads of suan-ing and silly comments.    The night ended off with a group photo, which we then proceeded to leave behind, together with our creative expression.   Thanks for the wonderful evening, babes!!!  Our artpiece. Possibly one of the weirdest ones, with the polkadots and whatnots. It's weird, but it's unique. :) Came home to receive a really really really unexpected email. I am still reeling from the shock. Oh well, an opportunity nonetheless, if anything! Good start to my 24th year on this planet! Keep it coming! :) An Impression Was Left @ 4:00 am
I think after that fun-filled two weeks with my kids at Camp Singapore, I am officially in a lull. I am feeling a little bored at home, and I am always looking for things to do. To get up and moving, you know? And so I am glad that I have my driving lessons to look forward to, at least they keep me occupied. :) One day to 23!!! Gosh, I am growing OLD...

Snapshot!  Trolley full of snacks? My trolley? Yes and No. Yes, it's my trolley, I was pushing it. No, because it's not my usual trolley. You will NEVER ever see my trolley so full of junk food. :) This was taken on my last trip to Tesco in Guildford. I MISS TESCO!!! :(An Impression Was Left @ 12:30 am
